Political Catch Up

Liz and I were both delegates to The Clark County convention which was a disaster.  About 4 times as many people showed up for the convention as expected and the convention had to be reconvened weeks later to complete the voting.

Again, both Liz and I were selected as delegates to the Nevada State convention which met in Reno.  This was better run, but ran about an hour or two behind schedule all weekend.

Even though President Bill Clinton came to Reno to address the convention, the results of the caucuses were reversed at the convention.  Hillary Clinton had carried the state in the caucuses but by the time the convoluted  process of National convention delegate selection had ended at the convention Obama had more delegates to the National convention than Clinton.

And now all the states, territories, and commonwealths have had their say and the party has a nominee.  Now the campaign begins.
